I printed two proof prints from my latest linoblock yesterday and today I took them down to Swansea Print Workshop. It’s our 25th anniversary this year and we’re doing a whole load of things to celebrate, including making a large concertina book featuring new prints (lino and silkscreen) from 20 or so of our artists, on the theme of Swansea.
My inspiration is the Welsh tradition of the Mari Lwyd. Husb and I made our own during the Covid pandemic lockdown (from a kit designed by David Pitt for TRAC) and we have taken her out a couple of times a year since for local celebrations. She’s the model for this linocut.
Mae hi yw’r Fari Madarch Abertawe a Hud yw ei enw. She is the Swansea Mushroom Mari and Magic is her name.
